Greek corn harvesting and market conditions

Overview

Corn harvesting is underway across Greece, with producers reporting moderate to good yields despite regional price variations. In Ioannina, prices are steady at 250 euros per ton, while in Drama, they are recorded at 200 euros per ton. In the Ilia region, yields for small and medium biological cycle corn range between 1,200 and 1,400 kg per stremma, with prices around 25 cents per kilo.

Despite these yields, rising production costs continue to squeeze profit margins. In Boeotia, crop conditions are generally good and water availability has not been a major issue, though wild boar have caused significant damage to fields. On the international market, the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) has shown an upward trend, with corn closing the week up 4.8% at 536.75 cents per bushel.
